Traffic on the Southern Pacific Suspended
For Three Weeks.
TUCSON, A. T., September 18.-The des-
struction to the railroad Is much greater
than first supposed. 1t extends at intervals
from the Colorado river to the Dragon
mountains east of Benson. One ill fifty
feet high on the Drag grade was washed
out eight miles and there are washed out
places between Benson and Tucson which it
will take three weeks to repair SO that trains
can pass over. The eastern passengers tied
up here will be transferred over land by
coaches to-day. No trains from the
east or west have arrived since
Thursday night. Two hundred men are
working in Iienenga and 100 at Dragon.
Two hundred went west on a wreckiug train
yesterday and at o'clock last evening had
repaired the road TO Maricap. A gang of
$50 from Youma last evening got between
Texas Hill and Sentinel, where they expect
TO meet another gang early tomorrow
and take the train from the
west. The present is the most destructive
WashOut ever suffered by the Southern Pa
cidc and it will cost not less than 100000 to
repair the damage. The through wire to the
east W IS repaired to-day. The heavy rain
yesterday extended into Sonora, where five
miles of track and three bridges We're
washed out on the Sonora road. The streets
of Tucson are flooded with perlshaDle freight
for eastern markets. A large quantity was
sold by the railroad.

Sr. LOUIS, No, September 15.-The eZ-
confederate reunion at Mexico, Mo-, was at
tended by large number of old soldiers
yesterday, who represented either side of the
conflict. About 10000 people gathered IN
the little city of 1000 and overhowed its cor
porate limits but accepted of its bountiful
hospitality. A grand parade with veterans
of the successful side on the right of the
line, societies and militia following and an
army of JOhnnies bringing up the rear,
opened the eLerc -ses of the day. Banners Of
the president we're Haunted to the breeze on
the side streets, but on the line of march
these were cOnspicuOusly absent. In a
grove at the northern part Of the city, 100
cattle had been barbecued, and when the
procession broke ranks a meal was served
to the visitors at a large table conveniently
at hand. In the afternoon oFations were
delivered by prominent politicians who
found words of praise for both sides and a
cause TO fight for worthy of either. All
the speeches were tempered to suit the rep
Fesentatves of both sides. The reunion VIII

PRICES oF srEEL RAJ $.

In October, l~S5, steel rails we're $50 q
ton. Previous TO that ID April, lsS5, they
sold a. low rs $50 n ton. Since October,
lSs5, the price has advanced to near $40 q
ton last April. Since then the decline has
been Gradual till the present price, which
at Eastern mills ranges from $3.50 1.-THE
lowest rate and touched by only a
single sale TO $33. This is s. q ton more
than was received in April, ISIS, yet 1t Is
said that the manufacturers Of steel rails
are alarmed at the rapid decline in prices
and have proposed a restriction Of the sup
ply until such time as the consequent
scarcity will check the fall.
The fact is that the enormous extent OF
railroad construction the present year
caused such q demand for steel rails that
the price rose to a point where English
manufacturers could import them at a
profit after payinga tariff Of SIT aton. OF
course the profits Of the American manu-
f~acturers were enormous. They paid high
wages, paid better prices for iron, and the
business was prosperous in allits branches.
Railroad construction has ended for the
season, and the prospect is for less activity
in 1888 than las prevailed throughout
1851. This cord,titn Of u ttLiIsh has brought
prices down, and still lower prices are pos
sible. But the steel rail people will pull
through it.
Now how does this situation strike Mr..
WATTEISON? Does he think ihe tariff on
steel rails could he lowered or abolished
and the American branch Of that industry
survive still lower prices? Even
now prices are so low that the
steel rail men contemplate shutting down
in two or three weeks. Without the tariff
and with Euglish rails coming in here at
S23 a ton every steel rail mill in the cOun-
try would be Instantly closed up and the
men discharged. Thousands and thou
sands would be thrown ont Of employ
ment and many other branches Of trade
and industry paralyzed. Alter while the
American steel rail industry would become
completely dead and We would have an
English monopoly, which without Ameri-
can competition would charge what it
pleased for its products. Can Mr.. WAT
TERs0N tell US wherein this country would
be benefited by such a procedure? Would
itnot be better for American railroad con-
tractors to pay even $40 = ton and keep the
steel rail industry in this country than to
pas S23 and transfer it 70 Great Britain
and then in the end pay England the $40
ton?
